    Return to office discussion

    Yes how times have changed. First it was WFH is here to stay, and then it was hybrid office/WFH, Now a lot of companies expect employees to be in the office five days a week. I know people who moved from downtown, all the way to the burbs and nearby cities. Only to be called back to the...

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    Mass immigration is creating major blowback all across Europe. Germany just elected a far right anti-immigration party. Gen Z is overwhelmingly voting for “the far right” in Germany. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen here in the near future...

    As long as the boomers stay healthy and don't have to go into nursing homes or retirement homes. Those monthly fees will eat up the house money in no time.

    Canadian airline industry (general discussion)

    The uncertainty with Flair is why I flew Porter last month. Porter was excellent! And the cost wasn't that much more than Flair. I met some people at the Victoria BC airport. They were flying Air Canada to Toronto, but they were stuck at the airport because their flight was delayed by 3...

    Canadian airline industry (general discussion)

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    That's good news! This is a company that price gouged hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes during the first COVID lockdown, until the media got hold of it, then they claimed the pricing was a "mistake" lol Good riddance Pusateri's! You won't be missed!

    So what? It's no different than it was 20 years ago when i was a teen.. The only difference is now employers are allowed to import cheap foreign labour while undercutting our local labour market.

    Driving to Pittsburgh recently, i noticed most of the fast food places i was at, were employed by mostly young teenagers working summer jobs. Like it used to be here. Now just about every single fast food worker in the GTA are all grown adult TFW's Pretty bad young people can't even find...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    It is a wide spread problem. Talk to anyone who has a cottage there. Beaches attract gutter trash. They drink and do drugs, especially on long weekends and shit and puke on the beaches. My aunt and uncle have a cottage in Sauble Beach, they spend every long weekend back at home in Toronto...

    Starbucks

    Same here. But after 6 pm you're choices of indie cafes are limited. But Starbucks and Horton's are always open. I miss my college days in mid 2000s, when most if not all indie cafes were open late.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    Yes i meant white cargo vans. Doesn't matter what race they are. But a lot of them are new to the country. These delivery drivers are appallingly treated. They are all over worked, underpaid and give no effs. Amazon is powered by slave labour.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    I see DHL delivery trucks illegally parked all the time with tickets. DHL is worth $51 billion. They don't care about a $60 dollar ticket. Maybe it's time to boot the trucks and have them towed away? Also those white cargo Amazon drivers! These guys infuriate me. They don’t know the...

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    I ordered some bourbon from a private owned store in Vancouver and got it within two days. I like British Columbia's liquor sales model. You got both goverment owned liquor stores and private owned liquor stores. If you want a bottle delivered, you got lots of choice. And they take back...

    it seems we are in a bit of a summer surge. I was in Vancouver a couple weeks ago for a wedding. People got sick with COVID after the wedding. My boyfriend included. Thankfully it was mild for him. But one guest ended up in the hospital. I had a dinner party cancelled this weekend in...

    How's the weather in your area?

    I spent the last two weeks in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Even on days with 28 degree temperatures, Mother Nature's very own air conditioning kicked in and cooled the nights off. I never used the AC once! I left my balcony door open all night, they don't have bugs out there like we have...
